Museum director Tasha Banner needs a miracle. Without a great deal of luck and even more money, the pioneer museum will close. But when they demonstrate a Scottish New Year’s tradition, a tall, dark, and yummy stranger walks through the door. Have the faeries sent her a miracle wrapped around the man of her dreams or will altering time bring disaster to them all?

Blacksmith Dougal MacBride walks into his home after a long day and finds strangers celebrating Hogmanay when it’s just days before Christmas. Confused beyond belief and incredibly aroused by the curvaceous bundle in front of his hearth, he is torn between the need to return to his time or remain in the present with the woman who may be his soul mate.

Excerpt One:

Dougal MacBride froze in his tracks in the doorway of his home.

“Happy New Year,” shouted a group of people he didn’t recognize. They stood in a small group gathered around his kitchen table.

They were dressed in strange clothing— brightly-colored coats on the men, women, and children alike. The women wore scandalous dungarees and their heads weren’t covered.

Fear gripped his throat and pounded at his temples. Who were these strangers and what were

they doing in his home? They didn’t seem threatening, but Dougal looked around for a weapon and spotted the fire poker. “What are ye doing here?”

The strangers stared at him with eager anticipation, but for what he didn’t know. “Tell me, what are ye doing here?”

The only decently dressed woman stepped forward. Her floor-length dress was cinched tightly at the waist, accenting her full hips and ample bosom. Her blue eyes twinkled like the clear winter’s sky and her auburn curls, peeking out from under her white bonnet, framed a pretty face.

“Welcome to my home.”

“Yer home?”

The room felt warm to his cheeks, so he knew the fire had been blazing for a few hours. Whatever their reason for being here, he wouldn’t allow them to stake a claim to his home. He waved his hand at them, like swatting at bothersome flies. “Be gone with ye.”

The woman’s blue eyes clouded to a cool gray. “I’m Mrs. MacBride, the Scottish woman in the village and…”

“Yer not.”

OMG!!! Can I tell how much I loved the humor in this book. But then again, I love a time travel romance. I love how once person is so out of place and the other one has to “teach” them about whatever time period they have traveled to. What’s interesting about Dougal and Tasha is what is out of place for Dougal is women. Yes, women. Reading how Tasha is so forward with him and it befuddles him to no end. Truly, its priceless.~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And yes there are so hot smexy times but with these two its totally appropriate. Sure you need to realize that’s its somewhat instalust but again, it fits them. Tasha was a revelation. She was strong and sexy. But that’s why I liked her. She never dumbed down anything to Dougal. She was straightforward in her wants and needs with Dougal. Don’t get me wrong, she wasn’t pushy. Just awesome.~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dougal brought a smile to my face every time. Yes, every time. He was more than a fish out of water. He was strong and understanding in some ways to Tasha. Of course, once the lessons of the body started…*fans self* Plus, he was accepting of Tasha even after he thought she was a witch.~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you like a time travel romance with a tash of fantasy…this is for you. Did I mention that Dougal is Scottish? Nope…My bad…
